Coordinated Attack

Curious as to why this Bn has launched an assault before my entered Assault time of 18:00.

The reason it is important to me is because I had hoped to get the FJ Bn in the SE to attack NW at 18:00 as well. But it seems the Bn in motion just ignored their "assault at" time.

Of course, I could me making a mistake in interpreting what is happening here, but thought I would ask.

I didn't assign an FUP for the Bn in the NW -- are they advancing to the FUP since I was too lazy to enter one myself?

Update: No they aren't advancing to the FUP. They kept going until they were on top of the AT unit at 16:58.

What are the aggression and judgement values for the commander?

Could also be a bug. Don't suppose you have a save from just before that to look at?
Setting the start at is more reliable (but you do need to assess the FU time to get fair coordination), or set both off together and adjust routes/speeds to get both converged at the same time and place. Your approach is more 'correct' but seems to have not worked.

I'd never noticed it, but my planning is more "wander over there and see what progress you can make" or "Go there now and cause havoc"... the more nuanced orders are a bit too 'planned' for me.
Subtle is adding another Battalion to the attack, plus lots ALL of the artillery. [:D]

I'm working through the video tutorial and was coordinating the attack on Lommersveeler. I originally set the assault at time to 13:07 (i know I'm pretty late). BUt during play I had several messages that the attack was being delayed. However, the shown assault at time has not changed. Does this value not get updated?

Thanks
Rick
